Valentine's Day For Rexy & Sandy

Valentine's Day turned out to be a wonderful, beautiful weather day.  Rexy and I decided to return to Point Vicente Park in Palos Verdes for a picnic.  Point Vicente Park was the first place we went to on our first date over a year ago.

We made a small lunch for two, turkey sandwiches on fresh wheat bagels with homemade potato salad, some chips and soda too.

Rexy had a surprise ending for our lunch  . . . 2 Snickers bars of course, we couldn't forget those  . . . he added our names to them  . . . so sweet!

The weather was absolutely perfect  . . . so pretty :O)

We probably should have worn shorts and not jeans . . . was a little warm.

After we ate our lunch we did some whale watching and only was able to see one,  we walk the trail along the coast and then walk over to the light house and enjoyed the views there.  

We returned home to a heart shaped strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting, that I had made earlier  that morning before we left for the day . . .  oh and lets not forget along with vanilla ice cream and Valentines Day presents . . it was a special day and fun too! xoxo

Loving my New Hat :O)

I've been loving my new hat  . . . never really wore hats before until I met Rexy.  Being on the motorcycle I tend to get "helmet hair" which really doesn't look too attractive at times.  These hats work.  I'm getting ready to do a posting on how I celebrated Valentine's Day.  Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weather in Cali . . . I know we sure are :O)

Beach Time . . . Already?

Getting ready to go to the beach today and watch the big waves that are suppose to come in . . . always fun to go to the beach with Rexy.  We don't sit around at the beach, usually chasing or running away from each other and of course, always taking long walks on the shore.  Rexy called yesterday and ask if he should bring us lunch in a mini ice chest and of course I agreed . . . LOL!  Looking forward to a good time :O)

Making a Difference with a Snickers Bar . . . happier days for sure . . . (Part II)

Update! Since this is the month of February and we are getting so close to Valentine's Day,  I though it would be a perfect time to post.  If you don't know it already  . . . Rexy has given me a Snickers Bar every month on the 22nd to celebrate our first date together back in January 2014.  He has gotten pretty creative each time he's given me one  . . . I wonder when he's going to run out of ideas after awhile  . . . LOL!

For the ninth month  . . . "9 lives", a little different

 For the tenth month  . . . this was too cute :O)

For the eleventh month . . . ok

 and for the 12th month with 12 mini snickers inside the tin  . . . with this one, I think someones getting a little tired and not so creative . .  LOL!

I thought this has been pretty admirable of Rexy to do this for one year  . . . I told him he doesn't have to keep doing it  . . . but he wants to continue.  Thank you Rexy you always touch my heart xo.

On a down note, I got a new iphone and lost 3 months of the Snickers Bar pics, sort of bum me out a little.  Make sure to check out the original posting from July 2014 :O)

Valentine's Day . . . Creating Again

 It always fun to get ready for Valentine's Day  . . . especially because I actually have someone in my life again.  I recently put up my Valentine's Tree with some cute creations on it . . . same old ones, nothing new just yet.  I've decided to make some simple heart garland for my tree.  Didn't really realized how many hearts I needed for such a small tree . . . I've cut about nineteen of them and probably need double of that.

 Thinking of making this heart below for a sweet girlfriend of mine with her and her husbands' names on it, I know she'll just love it too.  I do the stitching on my sewing machine freehand.  My machine broke last week, thought I needed a new cable for the side wheel but it just needed to be tightened, without my sewing machine I actually feel so lost . . . I love to sew :O)

Lazy Life Lately . . . :O)

One of the Christmas presents I bought Rexy was a new golfers hat . . . I took a guess and got lucky with his head size.  Last Sunday we met up with his bike club and had breakfast with them all . . . took this pic of Rexy out in the parking lot, always too much fun and lots of laughs.  Looking forward to another bike trip (3 days) in March, desert riding again  . . . bought some ear warmers when we rode to Arizona last October, definitely will be wearing them again this time.

Just had to post this funny pic of Rexy and I, Rexy looks sort of scary and my nose looks huge . . LOL!  We have been watching lots of movies lately . . . went to the theater to see a couple of movies, "Exodus : Gods and Kings", "Taken 3".  Cassandra joined us for one of them.  The three of us went to "The Hat" for dinner that night, they're known for their pastrami . . . delic!  

Having alot of nice dinners too at Rexy's place  . . . He made a pretty good desert the other night :O)

Looks like I've been eating too much  . . . better start cutting back again  . . or I won't be able to get on that motorcycle again  . . . LOL! xo

Happy 2015 . . . A new year with a fresh start!

FAITH IS HAVING THE COURAGE TO LET GOD HAVE CONTROL

2014 was an awesome year for me  . . . very liberating to say the least.  I started to share my life with someone special and oh my I had no idea how much my life was going to change for the better.  This man, Rexy has brought so much adventure into my life, has showed me places and things that I have never experienced before.  I really thought after Mr. Grumpy passed away unexpectantly in 2010 that it was over, said and done for me in this life.  God has a way of surprising us in life and showing us that he is never really finish with us just yet.  In life I feel we are really here to learn and teach one another.  It's really not about "us" plan but God's plan.  Letting go in my life and allowing God to guide me was the very best thing I did . . . getting to that point was extremely difficult, unfortunately the only way to get there is going "through the valley", nobody likes to go there.  Its dark, not comfortable, lonely and isolating and sometimes you lose everything.  You feel like you will never be happy or enjoy life again. While in trial you learn alot about yourself, God is doing a work in you, he's actually changing you for the better.  Better equipped to be of help or a learning lesson for someone else.  As a Christian we call this servanthood and that's what we are created to do.  

I'm looking forward to 2015 and I will continue to trust God and let him guide me where he wants me to go . . . I promise it will be better than you could ever imagine.

Blessings to all of my friends and family in 2015 :O) xo
